My composition for the mineral oils consists in the following ingredients, combined in the proportions stated, viz: cold water, forty gal- Ions; carbonate of magnesia, pulverized, ten ounces; refined borax, twenty ounces; calcimine, pulverized, twenty ounces; Epsom salts, pulverized, ten ounces.

In using the above compositions, both for animal and vegetable oils, and for the mineral oils, those ingredients and water are to be thoroughly mingled by agitation and then forty gallons of animal or vegetable or mineral oils are to be put therewith, in accordance with the compositions above named for each, and thoroughly mingled by agitation, when the water and ingredients and oils are thoroughly incorporated and ready for use by consumers.
